Sleeper Layer RUS33 CLF – Fast, Safe and Efficient Sleeper Installation with Integrated Fastening
The RUS33 CLF Sleeper Layer combines sleeper placement and fastening in one single operation. Equipped with an integrated fastening module (CLF) for Fastclip FC and FE, it enables rational installation of sleepers beneath the rail – with high precision and reduced manpower requirements.
- Increases efficiency – Boosts productivity by up to 25% by combining placement and fastening in one operation.
- Improved safety – Fewer personnel are required around the track during production.
- Ideal for confined environments – Perfect where access roads are limited or machinery cannot operate alongside the track.
- Flexible configuration – Setup can be adapted for different rail and sleeper types.
- Compatible with Fastclip FC & FE – Designed for 50–60 kg rails (standard gauge 1435 mm).
Efficient Railway Construction as a System
The RUS33 CLF is part of a complete railway construction concept that increases efficiency by approximately 25%. The system reduces manual handling and creates a safer workplace by minimizing personnel exposure in the track area.
The railway construction concept consists of:
- Rail Lifter on Wheels (RLF)
- Sleeper Layer RUS33 CLF (Fastclip FE/FC, 50–60 kg rail)
- Sleeper Wagon SLF for sleeper transport
By coordinating these units, an efficient workflow is achieved from transport to completed fastening.
Function and Operation
The RUS33 CLF handles sleepers directly from storage or wagon and positions them accurately under the rail while simultaneously installing the fastening via the CLF module.
The machine is also available in a version without the fastening module for manual fastening, both on ballast beds and up against the rail.
Standard track gauge: 1435 mm.
